Lost Song

The Song of Departure

Henry returns to the Capital, only to be told that a war is upon the country in its competition for the power of their songstress, later recognized as Finis, whose songs can rejuvenate and heal soldiers. Henry refuses to see Finis as a tool to be used in war. Finis, a beautiful but clumsy woman, is forbidden to leave the palace tower, according to her maid Corte. The ruthless prince Rudo Bernstein IV intends to marry Finis and keep her bound to the castle. While Finis enjoys fresh air in the garden on a rare occasion with her attendants, she gets lost and almost killed by an assassin. Henry arrives to save her and earns the title of being her bodyguard.
